Live from Studio 1A, Celebs
25-year-old Sara Bareilles stopped by the studio to chat with Ann and sing her newest song, “Love Song.” Afterwards, Sara spoke with me about touring and what she’s listening to on her ipod.
allDAY: How did you get started in music?
Sara Bareilles: I’ve been singing since I was little. There was a piano in the house. I gravitated towards playing the piano and singing. I was in a musical environment.
allDAY: Tell me about the tour. How is it going?
Sara Bareilles: It’s amazing. We opened for Rocco DeLuca & The Burden. It’s [the tour] over now. They were just wonderful. We went to cities that we had never been before.
allDAY: What inspires you?
Sara Bareilles: My life experience. I write about very visceral things. I write from a real first person place.
allDAY: What’s your favorite song on your ipod?
Sara Bareilles: Oh! Gosh! I love the new Feist Album. I love the rawness of the way her music is – the production style, the writing style. It seems very natural and organic.
allDAY: What’s up next?
Sara Bareilles: We’re doing a co-headliner with Jon McLaughlin and some good friends, Raining Jane. We’re opening for Maroon 5 after that. And after that we’re opening for Paolo Nutini. We’re doing lots of touring.
allDAY: And do you enjoy touring?
Sara Bareilles: It’s tiring; it’s hard work. I’m traveling with my very best friends: my band members and my road manager are my three best friends. It doesn’t get much better than playing music every night and touring with your friends.
